We lost a little girl at 26 weeks due to severe rapid onset pre-eclampsia - was horrific. Fell pregnant 6 weeks later with DD, very stressful pregnancy (due to previous loss), seen weekly at the hospital, scans every 2 weeks, BP crept up from 20ish weeks but was controlled by meds, was admitted for 2 weeks before she was then born due to high heart rate (both mine and hers) and pre-eclampsia - 35 weeks she was fine and straight on the wards with me (had had steriods at 24 weeks). With DS we got to 35 weeks and bp had crept up a bit, but only enough for low dose meds - then suddenly up all night with headaches, felt worse in the morning, ended up in day assessment, seeing lights, eventually loosing sight down one side, bit of protein, but as my BP wasn't too high they said i was ok and wanted to send me home - i refused, then within 40 mins DS was got out by crash section, i sudden felt hot, dizzy, sick, pressed the button and bp had shot through the roof (had been taken 10 mins before), meds didnt help, when pushing through the magnesium (with numerous consultants arguing if should do section then or not), DS heart rate dropped though the floor and that was it he was out - he was in SCBU (36 weeks) for 5 days with fluid on his lungs and 'due to traumatic delivery' but he was fine.... my consutlant was not happy they hadn't got him out earlier in the day and she if we hadn't insisted on staying neither of us would have made it... my consultant was amazing and without her i would have lost the plot.... she advised no more babies...
problem is now DS is 18 months all i can think of is having another.... am I really stupid to even think about it?
